The code encourages automatic daylight harvesting in secondary zones by awarding power adjustment factor credits that can be applied to the lighting design. [23] The 2009 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) recognizes daylight zones around vertical fenestration and skylights, and requires that the lighting in these zones be controlled ...
A twilight switch is an electronic component that allows the automatic activation of a lighting circuit when natural light drops in a given environment. Among a large number of uses, the most common is to enable automatic lighting of streets, roads, highways, roads, gardens, courtyards, etc., when sunlight drops below a certain level (e.g.: a ...
A complete sensor consists of a motion detector, an electronic control unit, and a controllable switch/relay. The detector senses motion and determines whether there are occupants in the space. [ 9 ] It also has a timer that signals the electronic control unit after a set period of inactivity.
The useful daylight illuminance calculation is based on three factors—the percentage of time a point is below, between, or above an illuminance value. The range for these factors is typically 100–2,000 lux. Useful daylight illuminance is similar to daylight autonomy but has the added benefit of addressing glare and thermal discomfort. [44]
Climate based daylight modelling (CBDM) also known as dynamic daylight metrics is a calculation methodology first developed in the late 1990s to assess daylight quality and quantity. It is used by Building Design engineers and architects to predict luminance and/or illuminance within buildings using standardised sun and sky condition climate ...

The ecobee Switch+ is a smart light switch released on March 26, 2018. [ 14 ] [ 15 ] The Switch+ has a microphone with built-in Amazon Alexa , along with occupancy and daylight sensors. [ 16 ]
Remote photoelectric sensors used for remote sensing contain only the optical components of a sensor. The circuitry for power input, amplification, and output switching is located elsewhere, typically in a control panel. This allows the sensor, itself, to be very small. Also, the controls for the sensor are more accessible, since they may be ...
